The invention provides a cascade module unit applied to a power electronic transformer. The cascade module unit comprises a power module, a power unit board, a thermal management component, a currentdetection component, a redundant loop component, a loop connection component and a module shell, adopts a cascade H-bridge CHB topology, and adopts a star connection method to perform multi-module series connection. The cascade module unit solves the problem of insufficient withstand voltage of a single power electronic device IGBT. The cascade module unit has the advantages that the modular degree of the internal components is high, and the assembly is convenient; the whole module is convenient to assemble, electrical connection can be rapidly achieved, and a hot plug function is achieved; the air volume of a fan is utilized to the maximum extent, and the overall module cooling efficiency is high; a redundancy function is achieved, and the reliability of the system is high; the volume weight is small, and the power density is high; and the overall demetallization degree of the module is higher, the creepage distance and the electrical gap are ensured, and the safety of the module unitis high.
